Vintage Mignonette Theo Preiss Fraise 3cl artisan distiller

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for an antique mignonette from the Theo Preiss brand, visible in the photo. It is a small, reduced-format alcohol bottle, also known as an alcohol miniature, typical of French artisanal productions. The bottle has a slender, slightly curved shape, with an elongated neck and a golden screw cap.

The original label, clearly visible on the front, bears the following inscriptions: "THEO PREISS MITTELWIHR 68 ARTISAN DISTILLATEUR", as well as the mention "Fraise", indicating a strawberry eau-de-vie. It also shows a capacity of "3 cl" and an alcohol content of "45°". The label, with its aged beige color, shows traces of age and marks related to time, giving the whole an authentic retro look.

The bottle is transparent, revealing a colorless liquid inside. The glass surface shows some traces and irregularities visible in the photo, typical of an old or vintage bottle. No additional decoration is visible on this side, the whole remaining sober and true to traditional artisanal productions.

The object is placed on a varnished wooden seat, which highlights the contrast between the brilliance of the glass and the warmth of the wood. No other accessories or elements are visible in the image, allowing the focus to remain solely on the mignonette itself.

The typography of the label, as well as the mention "Artisan Distillateur", evoke a traditional 20th-century style, although it is not possible to state a precise decade from the photo alone. The whole is part of the world of old spirits, collectible mignonettes, and retro advertising objects.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Visible traces of wear on the label (patina, marks of time). The bottle appears to be in good overall condition on the visible side, with no apparent cracks on this side.
